Get Ready For Halloween With These Spooky Picture Books

When a little ghost goes slip-sliding down the
hallway, he suddenly hears ... a groan! Turns out it’s only a friendly mummy,
who shuffles along with the ghost, until they encounter ... a monster! As the
cautious explorers continue, they find a surprise at every turn - and add
another adorably ghoulish friend to their tally. But you’ll never guess who is
the scariest creature in the house!

And Then Comes Halloween, Tom Brenner and Holly Meade As soon as geese fly south, children take autumn's
cue to start their preparations: it’s almost Halloween! With poetic language
and vivid collage illustrations, Tom Brenner and Holly Meade follow all the
familiar rituals, from hanging paper skeletons to carving pumpkins, from
costume-making to trick-or-treating. Halloween lovers will be eager to grab a
bag or bucket and join them on this lively and lyrical journey.

Ever since Ben was a baby, his parents have concocted
wild costumes for him on Halloween. He has been a magician’s rabbit (complete
with a giant top hat), a bunch of grapes, even a slice of Swiss cheese. Ben has
hated every one of these costumes. But now that he is seven, he decides to take
matters into his own hands and construct a costume that makes this the best
Halloween of all! The award-winning author of The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan
Toomey and the illustrator of the Martha books have conjured a very amusing
Halloween treat.

The witch has hidden a trick and a treat in her
magical kitchen cupboards! Which one you find depends on how you open the
doors. Whether it's frogspawn or popcorn, lollipops or rabbit plops, there are
hilarious rhymes to discover inside in this innovative novelty book!
